Assigning a values from a file

[Rvir]

I've to assign values to a variable in a shell script from a file . The file looks like this

V1
V2
V3

I've defined a loop in my shell script but i do not know how to assign v1 ,v2 and v3 one at time . Can any one suggest an approach

What have you tried so far?

(This sounds a little like a homeword assignment)

Here are some hints:

If you need to assign each value in turn and process separate, use a while--read loop.

If you want ALL values in one variable at once, use a combination of assignment and cat command.

Try

#!/bin/ksh 
set -a array $(< /path/to/file)
echo ${array[1]} ${array[2]} ${array[3]}
